Abstract (en)

A method is described for the formation of high purity thin films on a semiconductor substrate (46). In the preferred embodiment of the invention a thin film is formed on a semiconductor substrate (46) in a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. Energized silicon ions are obtained by mass analysis and are accelerated into a hydrogen-free plasma. A reaction occurs between energized atoms within the plasma and the energized silicon ions resulting in the deposition of a thin film on the semiconductor substrate (46). <IMAGE>
